How many people is that 3 year old sitting on…and why can’t they eat?
Maybe the 3-year-old is a racehorse.
In which case, they’re probably feeling a bit too flat to want to eat. I speak as someone who has been sat on by a thoroughbred. The last thing going through my mind was dinner. In fact, what was almost going through my mind was the wretched animal’s leg…
Shall I inquire as to the reason you happened to be beneath a racehorse? Perhaps it would be better if I don’tG! Whato…
Horse jumped, stumbled, fell down, landed on me. Wasn’t in a hurry to get up. I am built kinda robustly, so maybe I was just comfortable to sit on.
As for you disgusting insinuation that I had some sort of Catherine The Great episode, the only interspecies copulation that horse tried was with a goat. But that’s not terribly surprising, because 1) all throroughbreds are brain-damaged cretins, and 2) to give her credit, she was a very pretty goat.
You admit to being “robust” – did you consider that the horse might have wanted revenge?
I thought perhaps he was trying to suggest that I should throw in the academic pretensions, and try a career as a settee.
In these times, it always helps to have a backup career option!
If in sin you ate, that’s not for me to judge.
BTW, that well-known story of Catherine the Great being killed while attempting intercourse with a horse is just a myth.
My bet is on a 3-year-old whale.
My bet is on a 3 year old… uhhhh… SCREWDRIVER. Yeah, screwdriver.
It is a jelly with high choking hazard which has been taken from the market a couple of times.
Some months ago a one year old died because the grandmother feed the kid the jelly..or rather had the kid let ate it by itself.
You have to suck it out of the cup and chew it good before swallowing because it will not dissolve on its own and will stick to you gum, or to your airways if you suck it out of the cup and you have bad luck.
Also elderly have a higher risk because of less chewing, dry mouth or other conditions…or are a risk to the kids.
The manufacturer worked on the portion sized, the form of the cup so it would not happen anymore and now there is this squeezable cup where blobs of the jelly are pressed out when you push with your finger which should minimize the risk instead of sucking the jelly out.
But still, to prevent deaths, they have to write it on the package
Can a 3 year old eat with a person over 60?
A kiddy knife and fork set with oversize handles is more usual.
There are no people who are less than 3 AND older than 60!!!
Time travelers, duh. Anyway, I don’t understand why time travelers shouldn’t eat alone…
*gasp*
The time traveller’s paradox!
(click)
Because anachronism makes good dinner conversation difficult.
Couldn’t they mean less than (<) 3? In which case it would become "People who are <3 and over sixty can't eat alone." So lovable 60+ people can't eat this alone. Poor chaps.
These jellies have been known to choke little kids and elderly people.
The shape easily gets lodged in the throat, and they are much tougher than gelatin.
This really isn’t very bad Engrish, the only thing wrong is the object is missing, but in the context as a product warning, its easily understood.
If you look at the diagram for how to eat it, that’s fine.
60 is elderly?
Only 12 years left for me and…….. no more jellies.
Don’t worry. Your definition of “elderly” will also age along with you. When I was in my 20s I’m sure I considered anyone over 60 to be elderly. Now that 60 is looming over me, I hear of someone dying at 75 and I find myself saying, “but so young?!”
grandpa!
Not yet, as I got into parenting rather late. My daughter is only nine, so hopefully there will be quite a few more years before I really am a grandpa…
As for the jellies, don’t worry about that, either. You also develop a more sensible head about what is safe and not safe for you. So yes, I’ll ride the roller coaster, but I’ll pass on the mechanical bull…
Yup, our local Asian supermarket sells them. They are delicious, but a lot of people try to swallow them whole, causing them to choke.
Yes, I have had them once. The package was not in english, so I had to ponder how to eat it for a few minutes. Definiatly they are not squishy enough to swallow whole, however they are slippery enough that you could easily try and get it lodged in your throat.
what i don’t get is that they call them lychee jellies, but there is no lychee in the recipe list… not even extract
because the jelly is like lychee flesh…same consistence, or should have the same feeling when you chew it.
I reckon those of us over 3 and under 60 are screwed. Figures.
Hell, I already drink alone.— “Yeaaaahhh! With nobody else…”
Get a haircut, and get a real job!
I feel like I’ve jsut been sat on by George Thoroughbred.
Long-distance comment connection win!
Better than getting caught underneath one of his destroyers! Those are pretty big ships!
Just make sure you don’t drink alone straight! It’ll hit you much faster than if you mix.
Don’t eat alone! It’s full of empty calories, low in fibre, high in saturated fat, and they make alone out of cute fluffy little kittens! Boycott alone!
I hear a lot of financial institutions are having to eat a lot of loans these days.
praise the loan!
Personally, I’m laughing at the “Eat A Bit Carefully” instruction on the top-right
Which would mean, of course, that if you eat the whole thing you can just gulp it down carelessly, which is probably the opposite of what is meant.
Person under 3 eat with person over 60=lychee jelly twosome joy joy!
yay…double suicide
These things seriously are quite dangerous. They’re pretty close in consistency to white pencil erasers.
This same kind of warning is often given on Mochi (a kind of sticky rice cake) and every year, there are reports of elderly people who died eating it over New Years.
all i know is that those things are effing dericious
Are they? ‘Cuz that ingredient list makes it sound intensely bland. But I do love the taste of lychee.
I just like how the lychee jelly doesn’t have lychees listed as an ingredient (probably not even one of their ‘natural flavors’). Don’t you just love overprocessed foods?
I always love products for which the most prominent ingredient, which by law is listed first, is water! It’s amazing how many ways these hucksters get us to pay a fortune for the most common molecule on the surface of the earth.
Don’t forget: It ain’t what ya got, it’s what ya do with it that counts!
For that matter, the chief ingredient in me is water!
So you’re saying Lychee Jelly is…people?!
I’m saying that people are rather similar to lychee jelly. Some more than others…
I’m saying that people are rather similar to lychee jelly. Some more than others, of course…
Sometimes I repeat myself.
Repeat, I sometimes myself.
yes. definitely PMS.
I’m sure you accidenty.
If you axe identity, what’s left?
a tity?
It’s the opposite of right.
No, obviously WHAT is left!
Soylent Lichee Jelly is people!
I dunno about “overprocessed” here. How about “bearing little relation to anything produced by nature?” Water and sugar and seaweed polysaccharide and little else: a simple carb and a complex carb, with a little flavoring and coloring and the like; I suspect that the coconut is to make the stuff a bit murky, like the translucent flesh of a lychee. “Natural flavors” need not be made from the thing they taste like, so the lychee flavor may indeed not come from lychees at all.
Sawdust is a natural flavor. As is urine.
Of course. It’s the flavour of pee pie.
And pork pulling a wind.
LYCHEEEEEE
luckily that I’m 59.LOL
Those mini-jellies are a choking hazard, hence the warning! Lots of old people in the Far East cop it choking on chewy rice cakes etc.
I have had those… there are chunks in them that at 1st seem like they would be soft( they are in jelly) but they are really easy to choke on.
Perhaps they should be re-named: “Chunky Chokers.”
These jelly have been the subject of periodic consumer safety recalls, for the choking hazard. Certain markets won’t sell them.
I love those jellies… too much… and some are actually soft enough to drink, so…
That’s gross
So, if you are two or 61, you can’t eat this stuff by yourself? How complex can it be?
I can see two, but 61 is a bit odd
